On July 22-24th, The Journey sent a team to Camargo and Reynosa, Mexico to minister to the poor and imprisoned in that area! The mission team provided worship and preaching for a service in a church inside a prison in Reynosa, fed eighty families in a Colonia (village of cardboard and loading-dock pallet homes), and worship and preaching in a church in Camargo. The team did a wonderful job and God was greatly glorified as evidenced by the responses of many of those who attended. Praise God for using us when we go in His Name!
